PACKAGES AND COMMERCIAL RULES
Clear startup-friendly price ranges for bounded digital work
Choose a focused starting point. Final scope depends on access, content, data volume, integrations and acceptance criteria.
CORE OFFERS
Four ways to start.
These prices are validation points from the launch plan, not promises that every project fits the same scope.
| Offer | Startup range | Best for | Delivery target |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead Website Engine | R7,500–R12,500 once-off | Local and professional service SMEs | 10 business days |
| Ecommerce Launch | R15,000–R25,000 once-off | Stock-based South African retailers | 15–20 business days |
| SEO & Conversion Sprint | R3,500–R6,500 once-off | Existing sites with weak visibility or conversion | 7 business days |
| Digital Marketing Care | R2,500–R5,500 per month | Ready clients after a build or sprint | Monthly cycle |
SCOPE CONTROL
What protects delivery quality.
A premium outcome depends as much on commercial discipline as visual design.
Deposit
A 50% deposit starts once scope, access and timing are agreed.
Milestone review
One defined revision round per milestone; new directions are change requests.
Client readiness
Content, data, approvals and access have explicit due dates.
Ownership
Hosting, domain, analytics and advertising accounts remain in your name.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
Add only what the operating model needs.
Photography, large catalogue entry, marketplace operations, paid-media spend and complex integrations are not silently bundled.
Inventory cleanup
SKU, variant, item-master, purchasing and stock-count readiness.
Email & WhatsApp retention
Welcome, abandonment, post-purchase, review and win-back journeys.
Analytics & attribution
GA4, GTM, Search Console, revenue events and decision reporting.
PRICING QUESTIONS
Know what is and is not included.
A review is useful when the current platform or data makes the scope uncertain.
Can I pay in milestones?
Once-off projects use a deposit and agreed milestone payments. Any subscription or payment-plan option is confirmed in the proposal and is not assumed.
Is hosting included?
Hosting can be recommended or managed, but ownership remains in your name and recurring costs are shown separately.
Are advertising budgets included?
No. Media spend is always separate from management fees and paid campaigns are launched only when tracking and conversion readiness are adequate.
Is POPIA compliance guaranteed?
No template can guarantee legal compliance. Mitrend Digital implements agreed consent and privacy controls, while the client remains responsible for legal review and its operating practices.

Measured on our own website
A rebuild process with visible acceptance checks
We applied the same audit, consolidation, performance and handover discipline to mitrenddigital.co.za. The published case study separates verified implementation results from traffic or ranking outcomes that still require time and Search Console data.
136
thin or duplicate routes consolidated
129
quality URLs in the clean sitemap
89
mobile Lighthouse performance on the tested SEO page
0
failures in the final route, heading, image and sitemap checks
Lighthouse is a lab test and can vary between runs. The case study does not claim ranking or organic-traffic growth.
BOUNDED STARTING POINTS
The decision in one sentence
Mitrend pricing works best when the scope is tied to a specific decision and acceptance check. The right starting package is the smallest useful release that can improve a website, store, marketing route or operational handover without hiding important work in vague deliverables.
Choose this route when
- You need a clear first release before committing to a larger programme.
- The current scope mixes content, build, data, tracking and handover without owners.
- You want to compare options by outcome and effort rather than line-item volume.
- Your team needs a realistic route that protects access, approvals and handover time.
What the system needs to make true
| Decision area | What Mitrend checks |
|---|---|
| Scope | The page, workflow or system boundary included in the first release. |
| Readiness | Access, source data, approvals and decision owners required to start. |
| Acceptance | The test or sign-off that confirms the release is useful and operable. |
How the work moves from diagnosis to handover
- Review the current asset and the outcome the business needs to move.
- Separate required work from optional enhancements and identify dependencies.
- Agree the first milestone, client inputs and the point at which the scope should be reviewed.
- Handover the result with the next decision documented instead of forcing a long retainer.
What to verify before you invest
- Does the package name a result and not only a collection of tasks?
- Are client responsibilities and exclusions clear?
- Is a testable milestone visible before expansion?
- Can the business keep operating if the next phase waits?
Evidence to bring into the review
Bring the current page, store, catalogue or report and say what the team needs to do more reliably. That makes the package conversation more precise.
Questions buyers usually ask
Are the displayed prices a guarantee of the final quote? No. The final scope depends on access, data quality and the agreed acceptance criteria.
Can you start with one page or workflow? Yes, if it gives enough evidence for the next decision.
What is usually excluded from a bounded first release? Unapproved integrations, unowned data cleansing and untested platform changes.
Choose the next practical step
Bring the current website, store or workflow and one real example. The review should leave you with a bounded next action, not a generic channel list.
